Ian Old Army Surgeon IN Chicago Herald
knew a girl who at the beginning Of the
war was SO filled with patriotism, and so
weighed down by sense Of duty, so carried
away by an adventurous impulse, that she fol-
lowed the squad of boys who had enlisted in
her neighborhood, and dressing as a boy, en-
listed In the company that was forming in the
County town, Her friends, discovering the long
hair She had cut from ner head and the cloth
ing she had thrown of in her fathers barn,
gave immediate pursuit. AS they were driving
into the city they saw walking along the side
walk smoking cigar young fellow who had
the same sort OF face as the girl they were in
pursuit Of They stopped aRd accOsted the
young fellow and were treated 10 such a shower
of epithcts aud such an exhibition Of bravadO
that they admitted their mistake, and apollo
gized for t. An hour later one Of the party
found the same young fellow deathly sick from
smoking tiie cigar. lie called him by the girls
name. and found that after all the young fellow
who had done such hard swearing was the girl
they were looking for She was taken home,
and afterwards entered the service as a hospi-
tai nurse. In the last year of the war found
her again IN mems clothing, crying as only a
broken heated woman can cry, over a light
haired man, shot dead in the charge at Resaca.
She cared nothing then for exposure, and went
home in a widows dress.
Another girl, / remember, had a pleasanter
experience. ] was the Examining Surgeon at
one Of the recruiting camps early in the war,
and on one occasion rs passed down the line
OF company formed IN open order for muster
and inspection, noticed, as the hands were
held out, one set that to my practiced eye be-
louged to woman. j said nothing al the time,
but after consultation with the Colonel had the
recruit with the feminine hands brought TO
headquarters. The brightlooking soldier ad-
mitted in two minutes that she was a woman,
and IN two days she was at home. A year after
that j was "a a ball in Washington. AS / stood
little aside from the main party wishing that
] was In front with the army, a young lady
came toward me, bowed with exaggerated stiff
mess, and ms she Strengthened up went through
the motions Of obcying the ORDER" Eyes right "
She offered me hcr hand and thanked mc for
something that she supposed that j had done
and walked away. She was pretty enough "a
be the belle OF the occasion, and j saw that she
took considerable delight in my confusion oi
mind, ali Of which ] understood later when
learned that She was my recruit with the lady,
like hands. She afterward told me that she
owed me a debt Of gratitude for stepping in al
the right time TO break down her romanti,

A good old lady in Maine used to tell how
she kept herself in the straight and narrow way
by never doing anything that she would not
want 20 be caught doing by the angel who
should come 20 summon her TO heaven. The
minister in the following story, vouched for by
a correspondent, carried the same good princi-
pie step further. An aged and devoted min
istcr Of the Baptist denomination in town In
Lincoln County was tried very much in his
mind by the persistent use Of tobacco by a
brother in the church. Scat last he said to the
brother, calling him by name: How il would
look, my brother, IL You was in heaven for the
Lord TO send an angel around after you with O
mop 10 clean up the floor" The good brother
has never "chewed" since

enormous sequoias of California in mind, many

the ship Clever, commanded by Capt. John
Stone, arrived at Monteyideo with a portion of
a seaWeed which had been picked up in the
Atlantic near the equator. The sailors per-
ceived an object floating on the surface some
distance from the ship. and, manning boat,
they rowed 10 it, and ascertained that it was

OF al the queer devices pertaining 10 sea-
faring life ,he queerest is the automatic fog bell
that used 10 ring on Race Point, Cape Cod.
There was q big bell with a clocl,-work that
would moumially toll il whenever il was set
a-going. The bell was under cover, but pro-
lecting from the house was a long, nicely bal
anced lever with a big sponge on the out end.
There was al.ttle roof over the sponge 10 keep
the rain Off but when a fog came Oh the moist
ufe would satuIate the sponge, and the weight
bearing the lever down would start the machine
and sci the bell 10 tolling. If the fog soon dis
appeared The sponge dried out and the lever

regimental headquarters having thus traversed
the entire route from Mobile Bay to Memphis,
Tenn, by land, and through the most bitterly
disloyal section of the South, and more than
one-half the distance, in strength but little
more than Corporal's guard. Gen. Morgan l..
Smith pronounced this one of the most gallant
exploits Of tho war. Some of its events that
were related by Capt Williams, who led the
party, were highly interesting, and may at some
time in the future be related as they were told
the writer by this veteran scout.
